There's both the expected pop-punk and ska tracks, with perhaps a new indie flavor, and there's also a soundtrack full of chill, jazzy songs that make skateboarding feel relaxing. The sense of humor of this game definitely feels a little "meme"-y but it works for me like 90% of the time.Īs is essential in a skateboarding game, the soundtrack is on point. It was wholesome and funny, and I enjoyed getting to know each of these silly birds. I definitely went in not expecting SkateBIRD to have a story, but it sure did. Look, they're willing to do whatever it takes to help Big Friend have a better life, even if it involves setting a computer on fire. You'll continue to go on missions to make your Big Friend's life better, making bird friends along the way who will assist you on quests - and sometimes, on bird crimes. You're "cleaning up the room" but really, you're learning to use the basic skateboard tricks through this quest. Your bird (named Birb) talks to Jodie about how their "Big Friend" is never around anymore, and how you might help them out by cleaning up their room. You can choose to just start skating, but your first quest is already available to you if you talk to the nearest bird, named Jodie. You're just dropped into a tiny bird skate park, which upon closer inspection you can tell is all one studio apartment for a human. You can spend a lot of time just on this character creator, so it's good to know you can always go back and edit your bird - once you find new items, even. You can give your little bird a hat, cape, bow, headphones, belt, and even sideburns. You pick your type of bird, skateboard, and clothes.
SkateBIRD starts you out with a really great little character creator.
